Picked up the 40mm f/2.8 Heliar and the 75mm f1.9 Ultron recently. I'll have the 75 tomorrow, been shooting with the 40mm f/2.8 Heliar.

These are my two favorite focal lengths for M cameras, 40mm for liaison photography- street/landscape, and the 75mm for closeups/portraits/compressed landscape etc. Already loving the 40mm Heliar, it's so fun- tiny and sharp and has plenty of character, but a different experience for sure. I'm most excited about the 75mm I'll receive tomorrow as I really like walking with an M looking for isolated light/compositions anytime of the day.

I also have an older matching pair: Voigtlander 28mm f/1.9 Ultron and 50mm f/1.9 Ultron, which are the "typical" focal lengths, yet they are not my personal favorites. They are better on my M8 than they are on my Typ 262, which is why I have two sets of lenses.
